The
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB test system managed a Sysmark 2012 Overall score of 181
with a 'Sandy Bridge' (SNB) processor in the drivers seat and a score of 197
with the Ivy Bridge (IVB) CPU. The Intel Core i5 2500K SNB results are right on
the money for Intel Z77 based motherboards while the
Intel Core i5-3570 IVB offers a pretty small, but distinct, gain in system-level
benchmarks.

Sysmark 2007 has been retired, next up PCSTATS has
PCMark Vantage results.
